Network Solutions Overhauls Whois Results

Posted by timothy on Monday July 12, 2004 @01:56PM from the now-it-needs-orkut-style-linking dept.

Robert Accettura writes "Network Solutions has updated its whois interface, giving it an interesting new twist. On top of regular info provided, it shows data that appears to be from Alexa, including a screenshot of the homepage (though not terribly recent), as well as looks up your IP, and displays lots of information on it. It even shows the server type, if it supports SSL, DMOZ, Yahoo listing, traffic ranking, and lock status. This comes right after they announced rapid DNS updates. Perhaps they are trying to win over the geeks before they turn on sitefinder?"

wats odd, is that it doesn't have an image of our site, but alexa does.

It's also showing us as an e-commerce site, for some reason :(

This is your warning by Anonymous Coward · 2004-07-12 15:19 · Score: -1, Redundant

If you spam your shitty website here again, I have well over 200 megabits of distributed hosts around the internet ready to flood your IRC network and/or website at my command. If it happens, then don't be surprised.

I am sending a warning to your IRC host to let them know of your spamming activities and that if they can't get a lid on you guys, I will take this matter into my own hands. Thanks.cer45f
